International Conference on the Use of the Internet in Mental Health' May 14-16, 2009 in Montreal, Canada

I'll be giving two invited talks on the use of virtual worlds for teaching and learning at 'The International Conference on the Use of the Internet in Mental Health' May 14-16, 2009 in Montreal, Canada. Conference Website

Here's an introduction to the 3-day conference by the conference President Alain Brunet.

Alain conducts research on the role of the Internet in helping victims of trauma, their loved ones and professionals. More information on this research can be found here.

The conference will bring together people from across the globe to discuss the role of the Internet in Mental Health. I'll make my presentations available in the usual way following the conference. I'll also give backchat updates during the conference via Twitter as 'MiltonBroome'.
